Elephants, Beads, Giraffes, oh my! - I booked this tour last minute through Viator but in hindsight would have preferred to book directly with the service company. Kelvin was super informative of the animals, very accommodating, and gave me some extra recommendations for after my tour. He was very patient with my questions and how long I wanted to take at each location. Would recommend!

Wonderful visit to the Giraffe Center and Sheldrick Trust elephant orphanage! - This was a really special experience! The giraffe center was wonderful, and the Sheldrick Trust elephant orphanage was next level. Sam, my guy, was kind, knowledgeable, and engaging. I truly enjoyed my time spent with him and would recommend this tour to anyone.

Perfect day in Kenya with baby elephants and giraffes - Kelvin at Rustic Nature tours made our first day so special in Kenya. He is an extremely experienced guide who is passionate about the animals, people, and culture in his country. We had a spectacular day because of his wealth of knowledge, and positive spirit. We were able to get incredible pictures and experience the baby elephants and giraffes up close because he is determined to have his guests have the best day ever. When in Kenya, we highly recommend booking the Baby Elephant and Giraffe Sanctuary tour with Rustic Nature Tours!

Fantastic Experience - This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. My guide, Kelvin, was excellent throughout - he was flexible with my requests, personable and extremely informative. Not only did we travel to the advertised Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Centre - both incredible experiences that I could not recommend highly enough - but he also took me to a local community shop, a traditional Kenyan restaurant and a bead factory tour.

Very expensive for what is offered - The tour is very expensive for what is offered. The time on the tours is short, and the entry there national park (43 dollars per person) is paid the part. That is, the value is basically for the person to take you to the tours. The city is hot and the driver did not turn on the air conditioning. When we asked to call, she called for about 10 minutes and then simply turned off without saying anything. It is better to go from uber to tours, with air conditioning.
